How Robomow Works for You
Perform a One-Time Setup before operating Robomow for the
first time.
[Detailed instructions are in the following chapters]
•
Install a wire around the entire lawn and around protected
areas within the lawn area.
•
The Perimeter Wire sets the boundaries for Robomow.
The Perimeter Wire is laid around the edges of the lawn and
around trees, plants, ponds and objects that you want to
prevent Robomow to run into.
•
If the supplied wire is not sufficient, more wire can be purchased
and spliced with a supplied connector to the existing wire.
•
Small pegs are used to fasten the Perimeter Wire into the
ground, below grass level.
•
The Perimeter Wire will gradually disappear under the growth
of new grass until it will be invisible.
•
You will place a Base Station along the Perimeter Wire. They
perform two basic functions:
- Generate a signal along the Perimeter Wire.
- Charge Robomow’s batteries.
•
The Power Box is connected between the Base Station and a
230V wall socket, using a 15m long low voltage cable.
•
After having completed the installation of the Perimeter Wire, Base Station, and the Power Box, and performing
the One-Time Setup, Robomow will do all the mowing for you for the entire season!
•
Robomow is a robotic lawn mower that is powered by a maintenance-free battery. It leaves its Base Station at
the scheduled mowing time. Robomow mows the lawn and then drives back to the Base Station to be charged
and ready for its next scheduled mowing.
•
As soon as Robomow leaves for mowing, the Base Station automatically triggers a special signal. This signal
creates a virtual wall, visible only to Robomow. This signal keeps Robomow within the lawn boundaries, and
prevents it from entering areas it was programmed to skip or protect.
